About FFS

For Folk’s Sake is a UK-based website run by a team of music enthusiasts from around the country. We write about folk, country and roots music – and anything else that we happen to like.

Here’s where you’ll find who to contact for just about any FFS-related query, just address your email to the right person using the contact form below. But please note that FFS is staffed entirely by volunteers, most of whom have day-jobs. We try to answer all (relevant) messages, but sometimes there simply aren’t enough ears to listen and fingers to type.

If you’d like to write for FFS, the best thing to do would be review something current – a show or a record – and send it along to us. If we like it we might publish it and add you to our contributors list. .

Lynn Roberts- Founder/EditorI’m the person to get in touch with if you have questions or comments about interviews, advertising, news, the website or writing for, taking photos or working with FFS. If there’s anything else that doesn’t fall under a category mentioned, send it my way. I send out music-related messages via @forfolkssake on twitter and you’ll find ill-informed opinion and exclamations about how much I love John Darnielle @LynnFFS. I also present the For Folk’s Sake radio show on London Fields Radio.>> Send Lynn your music on Soundcloud
Ian Parker- Reviews EditorIan’s our record reviews editor. If you have a single, EP or album you’d like FFS to review he is your fellow. Ian also runs his own site Ragged Glories and recommends an album every day on his twitter feed @iparky. We literally do not know where he finds the time. Ian Parker
Helen True- Live EditorHelen’s your woman if you have live dates that you’d like an FFS writer to attend.She’s also partial to a bit of recorded music, so if you like the cut of her jib, you can submit that for her listening pleasure too. If you’d like to chat to Helen, find her on twitter @helentrue. helen

    Hi – new album “Watchword” from Swindon-based acoustic folk/pop collective MR LOVE & JUSTICE just released on Homeground Records (Distr Proper) – now available – would you be interested in review copy(ies)? If so where can we send?

    Please could we have some information on here about Pumajaw? Pinkie McClure and John Wills (founder member) of Loop are fabulous and I’d like to see their videos posted up on here as well as some gig dates please.
